Info, please. I didn't know about this. Is it actually flat-out verboten under all circumstances, or only commercially, or something? (So many of these shock-hooorah-up-yours-delors deals seem to turn out to be quite reasonable when you look at them at a safe distance from the Daily Mail!) It's not a tested (by them) insecticide, making it verboten - as was soap, until the suds began to fly. They can come and watch me at it as far as I'm concerned. Gits. But surely that only means you can't sell it as an insecticide. You can put anything you like on your own private non-commercial plants, if you can get it; but I don't want some snake-oil salesman selling untested stuff to the public. Hell, it's bad enough that they sell people shredders, tasteless tomatoes, and sweet peas that don't smell. -- Mike. |

Now grip the reader's attention with 300 words and a picture on each. My regards for the press in general is that it is 'gutter' journalism and people on this newsgroup are well aware of who in my opinion goes into the gutter. However, we are talking of gutter press postings being added to this newsgroup. It would appear we have found another person to join the occupants of the gutter. Just for anyone's interest, one hell of a lot of people have re-booked for the 2006 World Cruise. I know this because I am already talking to some of them on a newsgroup I subscribe to. There was quite a discussion on Aurora after her first cruise immediately after all the press and TV coverage and one of the subscribers contacted the press and asked if they were going to report on the recent successful Aurora Cruise, "If it went well we are not interested" Yes the gutter press will only look for the bad news as I said after Barrowcloth's posting. Perhaps she worked in the press once and has been indoctrinated in their ways. Mike |

The message
from martin contains these words: Oh ah? My great Grandfather was founder of the PA and editor of the Daily Express - when it was a real newspaper. It's never been a real newspaper. You lose 200 credibility points. Oh yes it has. It's only since the war that it's joined the Dandy and the Sun. -- Rusty Emus to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

What would you call 'a real newspaper'? How about the Telegraph and the Guardian? My father had a great disrespect for newspapers and what they wrote, (have since discovered that they don't ever seem to want to publish a story of 'how it is', more 'how we see how it is') and he advised me to read the Times and the Daily Worker and take the middle line, a bit extreme I fear. A lovely story of my experience with the press was over a planning application I made when I lived in Leicester. I had this large piece of land and wanted to keep a few chickens on it, 'quite a few' :-)) and as I was going to build this up slowely, I had the fear that a complaint might come in when I had 'rather a lot' on there and would have to scrap them all, so I applied to have a 'Poultry Farm' on the land. Planning made a visit and didn't think I would get permission. OK, fine, rather know now. The press got hold of it and a protest was organised. The press rang me up at the office 'What are you going to do about the protest?' "What protest?" He told me and I just said 'Oh well I won't do it then'. That bit never appeared in the paper, just the protest :-)) That piece of land now holds tow blocks of six one bedroomed Council Flats. and I moved back to the Isle of Wight :-)) Mike |
